I didn't see Conference, were any of the speakers black?

No. But it seems like most of the speakers Sunday Morning came straight out of an evangelical revival. They've really Jesus'd up their message for the campaign season.

you are more obsessed with race than the Ku Klux Klan.

how come you are not asking if there was a Latino or Latina? or a woman? or a German? or an Asian?

Well of course there is what I, over the years, always refer to as the (single) token woman speaker. This years had an interesting do.

maybe a mulatto.......not sure...i watched some and listened to some....maybe you would notice better than me.
i didn't "see" any "blacks" (whatever that is) but i am not good at picking up on those sort of things...any insight you could provide might help.

actually, there were 5 total.
3 for young women's session
1 for Saturday morning session
1 for Sunday morning session

and i believe about 34 unique speakers, so about 15% of the speakers were female...for those who consider statistics to be a sort of determining factor for worth.

Well, it is taught that these people were less righteous in the pre existence so that's probably why they weren't invited to speak at Conference. See the Book of Mormon for further clarification about the skin colour being a sign of a curse...

Anyone know, in the last 34 years how many of the speakers at General Conference have been black?
